Come and Hug Me (Korean: 이리와 안아줘; RR: Iriwa An-ajwo) is a 2018 South Korean television series starring Jang Ki-yong, Jin Ki-joo and Huh Joon-ho. It aired on MBC from May 16 to July 19, 2018.[2][3]
A man and a woman who were each other's first loves during childhood reunite years later as adults.
In his childhood, Yoon Na-moo was a seemingly quiet and mysterious boy whose father was a psychopath serial killer. He meets his polar opposite in Gil Nak-won, a daughter of a popular actress. Through Nak-won's persistence, pure and loving nature towards Na-moo, Na-moo falls into a reciprocated love. But, when Na-moo's father Yoon Hee-jae, a man who has a twisted affection for his son, murders Nak-won's parents, their short love comes to an end.
Years later, Gil Nak-won is now Han Jae-yi, an aspiring actress (like her mother) who always tries to have a good outlook on life, but also has a panic disorder from her traumatic past. Yoon Na-moo is now Chae Do-jin, a rookie detective who wishes to atone for his father's sins. These two would-be lovers have held on to the precious memories of when they were together but, connected by a tragic fate they must try to overcome the stigma and hardships they will face.[4]
